College Confidential - View Single Post - Brown versus Harvey Mudd for engineering major

gelderm · 04-26-2009, 10:19 PM

Can anyone advise my daughter on two very different schools? Her top three have been Brown, Mudd, and Penn (in that order). Her top two seem very different and nearly impossible for us to compare and contrast for her. She's always loved Brown but her engineering interests point her towards the better and more challenging program at Mudd. Her parents are not engineers and have been of little help with her science and math interests. She has had many outside interests in a large suburban high school (varsity soccer, band) and not focused yet on any type of engineering major. Did any other Brown students, current or future, share this or any similar dilemma? Any advice in the next couple of days will be appreciated.
